HOT UPDATE3: What (exactly) Kerala CM said?
Day 1
Kerala CM, V S Achuthanandan and Kerala Home minister, Kodiyeri Balakrishnan were paying a visit to the house of Major. Sandeep Unnikrishnan, who got killed in the encounter with militants in Mumbai – the whole India is indebted to him and his family. Unfortunately, Mr. Unnikrishnan, father of Major. Sandeep Unnikrishnan displayed his anguish to Kerala CM and Home minister when they arrived his home. Personally speaking, this wasn’t the right way to behave to a guest, leave the fact that he is the CM of a state. That too it was infront of the media he had insulted Hon. Kerala CM and Hon. Home minister. Yes! I can understand the condition he was going through. His son died for the whole nation. We all accept that fact. I don’t think our CM will have a different opinion.
There was a bug hue and cry from the media and the opposition parties that Kerala government didn’t respect the Major and his family by completely ignoring them. But the fact is that the political secretary of Kerala CM had attended the funeral of Major. Sandeep Unnikrishnan. Well I think Mr. Achuthanandan should have gone directly.
Day 2
Kerala CM, conducted a press conference back in Thiruvananthapuram, where he says, as per the media, “If it had not been Sandeep’s house, not even a dog would have glanced that way. It’s Sandeep’s family and that’s why we went. A soldier’s father should have had the sense to understand that“.
UPDATE2:-
Question from media: How do you respond to the remarks by slain major. Sandeep Unnikrishnan’s father (“Get out my house, you dogs“)?
And, the CM responded: “We all love Sandeep Unnikrishnan and that is the reason why we went to his house to meet his family. If it had not been Sundeeps house, no dog would have gone there”
Before you sharpen your knife to slay Kerala CM, think of two things.
1. CM too is a normal human with flesh, blood, nerves and emotions just like you and me – maybe weaker than us.
2. CM, aged 85 was insulted BRUTALLY infront of whole world. I don’t think there will be a second opinion regarding this point.
If Mr. Unnikrishnan’s reaction was ‘natural’ to a senior politician holding the most powerful position of a state in India, then CM’s remarks too were natural. I won’t prefer to go to a house where people greet me with abuses. You can see in the video, Mr. Unnikrishnan shouting “തെണ്ടി നാറികളെ… പോടാ… പോടാ” in such an irreverent and arrogant manner, at the Kerala CM and his team. Now, tell me if it were you, what would have been your reaction to such an uncivilized response publicly. Yes, it can still be justified because of his mental state at that time. But with the same reasons, you can justify the Kerala CM too.
Points I want to convey.
1. CM should have attended the funeral of slain Major at the first hand.
2. Mr. Unnikrishnan should have behaved well to the CM at least in front of public who even titled incidence like “Mr. Unnikrishnan kicks Kerala home minister and CM out of his house” – a real cheap attention-grabbing technique which is least expected from the media. He should have at least respected CM’s age. He came all through Kerala to meet Mr. Unnikrishnan. He should have expressed his distress in private.
3. If Mr. Unnikrishnan’s reactions are justified, with the same logic, we can justify CM’s remarks.
4. I was shocked to see people sending mails/scraps regarding CM’s remarks, turning a blind eye towards the incident which happened one day back. C’mon guys, I can understand that you are anti-communists, but if you can justify the actions of a person and crucify another (because he is a Communist) for the same mistake, that’s double standards – and there is a BaD-word in English to call those persons who shows double-standards, which I really don’t want to call you people. Hence, instead of spreading false news, understand the fact that “all are humans“.
1-2 days later, you can see Kerala CM withdrawing his comments and sorrying for the same after being brutally raped by the mother-fucking petty-bourgeoise media. Poor man!
I do expect flames from different sides. Let me make it clear. I do respect Major. Sandeep Unnikrishnan and other soldiers who were and are still in service for their contributions. I also can understand how bad Mr. Unnikrishnan would have felt when Kerala CM couldn’t attend his son’s funerals. But at the same time I condemn the way he handled the situation and also the way media reported it then and now. His expression of anguish to the CM and home minister publicly infront of media, abusing and insulting them was totally uncalled for. CM too should have restrcicted his emotions infront of stupid media who are eagerly waiting for something.
UPDATE0:- Let me make it much more clearer.. 
.. I am getting lots of flames…
“I will either condemn both of their immature acts or justify both…. and would NOT selectively criticize them based on my political ideology…” the media is busy celebrating the Communist CM’s brutal and inhuman ac (for being late to respond) … But where was our first citizen – Prathibha Patil ??… Did she came back after her tour?
UPDATE1:- more and more clearer…. (sigh! lot more flames!)
Why the media is projecting ONLY this issue? Where were they when
1) The Thakkares disappeared from the terror scene.
2) The first citizen was touring when India was burning.
3) Defense minister too did the same mistake as Kerala CM.
Why ONLY Kerala CM is crucified in this issue? Is it because he is a Communist?
(Shubha-rathri… I got pissed off by when I saw a mail regarding this issue which sounded “CM disrespected the Major”; I couldn’t see anywhere in the news where CM “disrespcted” the major…now they forget who did this “disrespecting” first… double standards!.. I just hate to see blind-anti-communists.)
All fine..!! i agree..!! CM!!! yes.. !! a big shot indeed..!!! Imagine.. the father who lost his only son..!! for de nation..!!! got no calls frm de state..!! pls..!!! this reaction is like totallyyy xpected!!!! has de rite to do wateva he wants..!!! Losing a loved oen is harder!!! Only Son evn harder!!! its de Shame on de CM to have said somethin like dis!!! He is de father of a hero who was out there saving lives and died doin it!!! All u and i can do is this!!! WRITE !!! ARGUE!!!
@pujha
CM is not an ordinary man. he has got lots of duties and responsibilities unlike a normal citizen and it may be even impossible for him to reschedule his already charted programmes esp in this case where Major’s house is outside the state. Think about the security measures that should be taken, that too in the present situation.
CM had sent his political secretary to Major’s funeral.
It’s true that Mr.Unnikrishnan treated CM like the terrorist who shot the Major. But we have to consider his mental status, he may not be thinking like a normal man for a while. But our CM was in a different situation , he was in a better position to handle media, what he has been doing for a long time. It was a very bad thing that not a single responsible person from kerala attended major’s funeral.I’m sure both will later feel sorry for what they did. But everything together acts as a thorn in the flesh. We shall forget things and learn not to make the same mistake again.
Its all good that the major died for a cuase. Honorable indeed. But that doesn’t allow the martyr’s father to go bersek and display his emotion in public by insulting the CM of kerala. For F…k sake…the man came all the way from kerala.
I hate the indian media. First! they don’t cover the facts
Second! the indian media is over the top and jump the guns.
They should be blamed for intesifying the issue. Just to up their viewership.
@pR@tz
charted program and security issues???? no way! What were his programs for that day? I’m sure none was more important than major’s funeral. Ministers used to cancel all their programs when country needs their service at some other point.Even Central Ministers and NSG reached Mumbai on that day from delhi. I dont think the distance between TVm and Banglore is more than that btn Delhi and Mumbai. Our CM does not need that much security of a central minister. If he was not well to travel he could have sent any other minister.
Lets hope the CM comes out with his apology.
This is utter rubbish, what is wrong with you people…consider the CM’s travel plans, security, his age…rubbish. Consider the sentiments of a family, a father who has just lost his son being treated as a politicised media drama. The Kerala CM has no shame for saying what he did…how would he feel if he lost a family member to such a tragedy or a young child of his own…then i would like to see his sentiments. Shame on all you people for supporting or advocating the CM’s reaction and comments. Do you have the courage to lay down your life while trying to save others?????
So easy for you all to say such rubbish and protect the CM’s dirty reaction, how dare he and how dare you? The Kerala CM should make a public apology to Major Unnikrishnan’s father and family and he should be the next one to resign. So much ego, the power has gone to his head so much that he dare say something like this about a brave soldier who died saving lives…has the CM ever done a fraction of this, or does he have a cent of this patriotism….
i completely disagree by wht u posted in ur blog.. no ordinary “normal man” can become a “cm”.. u gotta control ur emotions else u shuldnt become a Cm.. give priority to ur men who fought for u n brought pride to ur state..is he a kid to let his emotions off n go for tit-for-tat situation ?.. for god sake he s a cm.. whtever work he has,its his bound duty on morals grounds to visit de funeral..wen vilasrao deshmukh who was under such lot of fire n stress after de attacks ,put al his schedule behind visited karkare at his funeral.. u r sayin tht Mr.CM was more busy n scheduled dan vilasrao on de given day? i wont support Unnikrishnan for his behavior but given his mental stress due to de loss, but de cm shuld have acted sensible to his age n let de matter go go… in no way does ur support to de cm is justifiable..
@kapeesh
thanks for commenting… blame the media for sensationalizing issues and for spreading anti-communist propaganda… most of the blood-boils here are only because of the anti-communist factor and NOT because they are “so patriotic” …
@ Gopikuttan
See, let the CM’s office clarify why there was a delay before burning them alive.
@divya
please go through my post again… my stand is very clear… either the blame should go to both of them equally or to none… both are grown and mature… such a reaction and name-calling is least expected from the father of a brave soldier and a CM of a state… its is unfair to blame only Kerala CM…
@ all
the media and opposition was blaming it as governments negligence before and yesterday it was “a political drama” and today it is “disrespect to dead” …
Please understand the facts before you burn the CM alive..
Its doubtful if Kerala CM is really a Human Being ? Is this what leadership have taught him ? Can CPM and people tolerate if sniffer dogs are sent at religious pandals of pious festival of Durgapuja in Kolkutta. Same was the situation when religious rites were being held at late Major’s house. Are leaders above religious rites and sentiments of the people ?
We honour the sentiments of Major’s father and convey deep condolence as well as moral support to him.
Mother Teresa was very ordinary and leaders all over the world shed tears and bowed. The world remembers Mother Teresa but who cares about illiterate leaders like Achuthanandan. Illiterate Achuthanandan is busy person and let him be busy elsewhere when he is not wanted by late Major’s family. Its time that these dirty politicians stay away from people’s lives. Achuthanandan behaviour can never be justified. He and his men who have violated Right to Freedom of Major’s father can never understand what a life lost means. A life lost is lost forever and there’s no scope of intervention when someone does not want, let it be anyone.
Achuthanandan brigade is after sympathy fame and nothing else.
@ sri
accepted!!! CM ain’t a kid…. but where is the first citizen of India???… she was not even in India even from the first day… and tell me how many media had criticized it? at least pointed it out?
It is just that Kerala CM is communist that this issue got blown out of proportion.
I repeat…
“I will either condemn both of their immature acts or justify both…. and would NOT selectively criticize them based on my political ideology…”
@ San
as if Kerala CM had ordered the police to send sniffer dogs into Majors house… c’mon dude.. you are blaming CM for that too???
as I had pointed out in one of my previous comments,
it was “negligence from Kerala govmnt” two das back
yesterday it was “encroachment into privacy and political drama” and now it is “disrespect of dead”
c’mon guys… where are your senses?… where is Pratibhaa patil?
Hmmmm … some dog lovers will a bit chuffed about this statement …
Pratz – who comes on my property is my decision alone, or else you are trespassing.
YOU seem to have voted this particular CM into power. If that is the case, dont forget that he is your / my public servant i.e.: Serves me becoz I trust in him to do good in my society.
If he cant respect me / my space, kick him out like a dog
…
Im losing patience with you / politicians with every passing minute – dont make it any worse for yourself !!!
Why are you even discussing this? The person who have started this blog, I have no words for him, and the only reason I am sending this response is because it is so outrageous to read what he had written defending the CM….
The CM, whom every one would look up to, whom they would follow, makes comments like even dog wouldn’t have visited Major’s house…. Three cheers for the CM….
Even the comparison made in the blog is so wonderful, the anger of a CM who was sent back home (and so called insulted) is as justifiable as the anger of a man who lost his son because of bloody politicians’ in-capability..
Of course 2 these things are so very same…
Bravo “Just another ordinary guy. Currently pursuing research at some premier technological institute in India.”…
PS: I am not seeking any explanations or replies to my comments, so please do not bother to respond or put forward a point, this all is just too useless and we all are just too frustrated with the politicians of India.
Thanks…
I have been grappling for words to express my anger at this comment in no uncertain terms. This man is a national disgrace. He definitely doesnt deserve to be called a dog, as a dog is the most loyal animal that human beings know, and so I dont want to degrade a dog by calling Acchut that. That might be a mark of respect for this imbecile baboon, but he doesnt deserve that. This man is unfit to occupy any position of responsibility – forget being the chief minister of a state. I think these idiots have no loyalty, no moral fabric intact to actually insult a martyr’s family in this way, without understanding the trauma that the Unnikrishnan family is going through. I absolutely agree with Mr. Unnikrishnan’s action to tell this monkey to get out of their premises,as a martyr’s temple is not a fitting place for a pig to hang around. That should be in a pig sty, and matter of fact I think in Mr. Unnikrishnan’s place I would have actually slapped him with my bathroom slippers, not even my shoes. Just before I sign off, I would like to ask this octogenarian bafoon, does he realize that he is only a public “servant”, elected to a post to ” serve” commoners like us. So can this servant actually justify why he shouldnt be stripped in public and not slapped for his callous comments? You chimpanzee, Acchut, you are a person who has made entire India’s head hang in shame. You are just….a national disgrace. Shame!!!
@ myas, Prabodh and Amit
Thanks for commenting. I would like to request you to read the posts and the comments made before yours carefully, before reaching a conclusion about the post and the issue.
NOTHING JUSTIFIES IDIOT CM’s REMARKS…
DO NO BULLSHIT and justify…,
Ramesh
We can understand the situation of Mr. Unnikrishnan who lost his son and we salute him at this occasion. On the Kerala CM side, it is not a shock to me either. What to expect from the uneducated CPI-M leader, with no sense of decency who still thinks they report direct line to China and dotted line to Delhi? If someone has to be blamed, it is the general public who did vote for these guys…

Hi,
The main reason is that Achudananthan is a complete illeterate man. He didnt had his school eductaion ,At that time he was going for strikes . So we have to expect these types of words from a culturless fellow like him. Even i also got the same SMS with this issue, i had sent it to all my friends in the contacts list and also to other non keralite friends, let them also know how a Chief Minister of “the only 100 % literate state in India ” behaves.
Any way , Dear Achuthananthan…… Good work .. keep going… This is how the public will come to know the real face of politicians.
Vote bank that’s their aim. Every politician… As a keralite I’m ashamed.Let’s apologize to that family. These politicians will never do that. If you sincerely feel please do that online here
http://weapologize.wordpress.com
Let’s show our solidarity.
Pr@tz…did you see Asianet news the day after that the Major died???The press was following Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan and asking him why he didnt attend the funeral of Major Sandeep..This so called respectable fellow..first acts like he didnt hear anything…Then when the question was repeated, he turned back and asked ‘Major Sandeep allae??..Bangalore-il allae veedu?? Aa nalae pokam…..Bangaloril allae’.He meant the distance!!!!! and all the time this guy was smiling away.. Does he have no feeling??does he have no manners???? He should be proud that Sandeep is a Malayalee. I agree that Sandeep studied in Bng..That does not mean that he is not a malayalee…respects via a Phone call at least???? Everyone knows that any one in the ministry is LEAST bothered about each Indian individual’s life..He was saying….If you or I or our dear ones die in the hands of a terrorist, not even a dog would turn and look into our houses!! I can never support that!!
Pr@tz…no offence and god forbid……but you would behaved the same way if your son was in the Army and he died under service!!!
@RameshSagar & Vipin
Thanks for commenting.
@ Mathew & Sree
He is uneducated. But it was because of the social inequality which prevailed at his childhood days and his family problems that he had to quit school in 7th standard. Refer the wikipedia article to know more.
@Nikhgeo @ Upsetkeralite
I didn’t whitewash our CM, what I mentioned was, both the remarks from the father of a brave soldier and a people’s representative are to condemned (I am repeating this for the nth time) …. you can’t justify one’s action and criticize the other as the first incidence lead to second.
Mr. Unnikrishnan should have been more responsible when he dealt with issue instead of public outburst.
I also criticize the media, who never trivialized other equally serious issues. Some of them being,
1) Disappearance of the Thakares from the Mumbai terror scene.
2) Touring first citizen when the country is in terror.
3) Negligence from the defense minister in Major. Sandeep Unnikrishnan’s funeral functions.
My question is why media is projecting this issue very much? Is it because Kerala CM is a Communist? Is it because others are non-communists and they can do whatever they want to?
Please comment on this too….
You sound a true CPI(M) supporter. Or is it that one of their local committee’s paid you to write this…….
Your logic doesnt hold water.. You have a man who just lost his only son and is in a state of shock and going through the mental mechanisms.. He is already pissed at the indifferent attitude of his home Govt and has openly requested no Kerala politicians to visit his house..
On the other hand you’ve got a head of state who took the back door to enter the martyr’s house and was incessantly shown the door. And then those cruel comments..
How can you compare a father in such a state of mind and a Cheif Minister?
Dont forget the CM has insulted the martyr and thereby the entire nation.
1) Disappearance of the Thakares from the Mumbai terror scene.
You blame every visitor for destructing the focus of the security orgnaizations by visiting the victims. And when they dont visit you question them. Every media is questioning the Thakres. Its your biased mind that fails to notice.
2) Touring first citizen when the country is in terror.
The way the President is selected itself is a farce. This president was supported by the communist too. So you better answer. No comments.
3) Negligence from the defense minister in Major. Sandeep Unnikrishnan’s funeral functions.
When a State’s CM which does no work(closed for bandh for 200/365) days can be busy, then the Defense minister who is in the midst of handling the crisis will obviously be busy.
No i aggree with your points. The media is partial. Because
1. They dont question why Commies are so opposed to industrialization across the country, but wanted Tata Nano at any cost.
2. They dont question what moral right they have to question other govt when the law and order in their own states are pathetic.
3. They dont question the Congress the way they questioned BJP or Congress during rights. How many innocents lost life by the brutal firing of the comrades.
4. They dont question why the Commies keep on shifting their stand on Nuclear status of India. First they said India dong need Nuclear power. Then they said they dont want Nuclear Treaty. How does the Nuclear treaty matter to them when they dont want the Nuclear status itself.
5. Their blatant support for China even if its against India.
6. Their opinion on China’s stand of Arunachal Pradesh.
7. Their opinion of China’s stand of POK.
8. Their stand on POK and Arunachal Pradesh.
9. When America cannot interfere in Iraqs internal matter, why the hell they interefered in Nepals internal affairs.
And the list goes on
pr@tz dude–> r u payed or sumthin by doz guys to defend their stupid actions??:D
i cant believe even educated people can think soo damn stupidly
No wonder we keep getting back to having such unworthy leaders(?)
Although, Achuthandan’s comments are regrettable he is getting quoted out of context here,
The above conversation happened in a Press conference where a journalist asked him,
“What is your opinion on Mr. Unnikrishan’s view that he doesn’t require any politician dogs at his home?”. And to that Achuthandan replied, ” If not for Major Sandeep, not even a dog would go there.”. Now that was a natural response which would have been perfectly fine if we were not talking about a slain soldier here.
So no need to villify VS. He is 84 years old and is a CM. He deserves some respect.
Hi Dumas,
I agree that he should be respected for his age(84). But i dont think he should be respected because he is a CM.
By the way do you know the events before that. When one of the CM’s aides(I think a minister) came calling, he asked him to repeat what the actual condelence message was. And that guy was struggling.
So there is nothing wrong in saying what he said when the condolences were offered not from the heart but for political mileage. So they dont deserve respect either as a politician or as a CM. I appreciate the guts Mr.Unnikrishnan’s father had in saying those words, has most of us are afraid of the politicians and fear to utter those words in face. In that sense you should appreciate that guy. Please notice that the guys attribe was not against the CM alone but against the entire political community. So in that sense its very fair.
And regarding the argument that the CM may be busy, i had already aired one opinion in my previous post. Here is one more. A quote from an article in Express.
“BJP state president P K Krishnadas said Achuthandanan has become a disgrace for the state. “VS inflicted wounds on that bereaved family. He should quit the post,” he said. “When People’s Democratic Party leader Abdul Nasser Madani was acquitted in the Coimbatore serial blast case, three ministers of the Left Government turned up for the reception in Thiruvanananthapuram. The CPM has proved that the party would honour anti-nationals and insult those who have sacrificed their lives for the nation.”
http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Sack-Kerala-CM-says-Lalu-as-dog-remark-haunts-CPM/393250/
This is what Major Unnikrishnan’s father has actually mentioned. Even if the CM is not able to come personally, they could have sent one of the minsters as the Major actually belongs to the state of Kerala. Its obvious that when ppl from all quarters are paying homage to the Major, there were none(except for one odd secretary) from Kerala. Its like sending your servant to one of your close relatives funeral. I dont know how many people have the maturity to accept a servant from a family as a representation of the family. And we expect the Major’s family to expect the State Secretary as the representation of the family.
He he… it is so funny to see the comments seething with anger. CM as people’s representative had all the right to be there in Major’s house to offer condolences. It is true that he could not turn up for the funeral. At this point of time, we should also take in to account, that the nation was going through a very precarious situation and the CM needs to be in his state to put things in order and sorts. There are other Malayalees who lost their life in this shoot out, the major is not the only one.
The inebriated state in which Major’ father shouted derogatory remarks to the CM is unwarranted. He could have diffused the situation amicably. I presume it was an outrage kindled by the slimy journalism our media has been doing for the stretch of days when the attack happened. The elites who got their shock when Taj and South Mumbai where attacked cried foul in an unprecedented manner this time around and the media is lapping up with them in condemning the politicians. yes, politicians and their acts are abhorrent but we tend to forget that they are being elected by us.
The old hag Parthibha Patil, a national waste and a shame to women in India holidaying in Bali when Mumbai was losing our sons to the nefarious terrorists (or maybe the conmen of the powers that be) as well as the blood thirsty Thackerays as well as the Defence Minister who has govt employees run errands such as getting 75 blouses per month stitched for his wife ( I used to get my blouses stitched at the same place and I have seen the state car arrive for the 75-blouse order when Anthony was CM) as well as the ex-Home Minister who licks Italian asses in the Gandhi Monarchy are ALL dogs. Agreed but the difference when it comes to Achuthanandan is that in spite of being the most disgusting dog, he insulted the home and family of a great martyr by saying that no dog would even go there. (Some gentlemen on this forum have tried to justify the remark saying that what the dog Achuthanandan tried to say was that it was Maj Sandeep’s house-otherwise no one would go there. Even if this analysis were taken literally it actually means that Sandeep’s family does not matter. What right has he to surmise that no one would go there?)
Achuthanandan insulted the family and home that raised a great son. Do you know that Achuthanandan’s son has been tried for unlawful dealings in the SmartCity project as well as has gained an illegitimate admission to PhD? How then can you expect noble feelings from such a criminal’s father? The Honorable and Respected Mr. Unnikrishnan is a great and noble father who raised a great son. How many people would be ready to send their sons to the Army?

pR@tz could you please stop justifying Achuthanandan by bringing up false excuses like how other dogs are more ‘doggy’ than Achuthanandan or how the Achuthanandan/dog incident was a media hype. As an impartial Keralite, I staunchly believe that this guy must step down from the post of CM to save the sanctity and the face of Kerala and Keralites. BTW did you hear him stammer on TV yesterday when he cut a sorry figure trying to mouth some very basic English – The illiterate leader of the most literate state in India – I guess sane & literate people do not get into politics anymore.
( BTW- I can almost hear Prathibha Patil describing in detail to Sonia Gandhi how beautiful Indonesia was and how she sunbathed on the beaches of Bali, this followed by ringing high-pitched feminine laughther.)
These comments are interesting – just because – you will see a definite line between those using their brains and those using their hearts. It is unfortunate to see most of these guys are looking from their emotional point of view.
1. CMs primary duty is not attending funerals of Jawans who died on duty. If that is the case – he should be travelling for this purpose quite a lot.
2. For every Jawan – dying on duty is considered their greatest honor. Besides – it is a a part of the risks related to his job. Sandeep has achieved it. The Cm or PM visiting his house shouldn’t make a difference.
3. Sandeep’s father seeking visit from the politicians and his reaction because the visit came late – speaks a lot about him than anyone else. This is not the first time a father is losing his son on duty. He is not alone. Sure – Hemant Karkare’s family refused entry to a politician initally – but they did not try to make it such a big issue – and their family was more decent in reacting. Anguish is no reason to treat others with disrespect. It speaks a lot about you than others.
4. For a man who rose to the CM level from a status from the working class – it is natural to react to anyone in the same language as they used on him.
I know what some of you would be thinking – “you have not lost your son – you will know what Mr.Unnikrishnan feels when you do”. I would consider taht a stupid statement and you know why.
Plus – being called a dog on media for something very stupid as being late for visit is not a nice thing. I would have been surprised if the CM didn’t react the way he did.
Now – as you guys would want your politicians to react – I am sure he will apologise. Wouldn’t that make the likes of Amit, Divya , Gopikkuttan etc.
let me know your reaction at rrrohittt@gmail.com
Oh – a few more things – based on the comments from the “mr & Miss – literate – do rights”
1. Aren’t you guys ashamed to say that your CM is illiterate? He worked for the people of Kerala. QAnd its possible that you parents reaped benefit from hwat he did! He was always fighting to for justice for the working class. Does this not make sense to you all? If not- it is a shame. manytimes – i feel that people in kerala know less about their chief minister than the rest of India.
2. If politician is a public servant – so is an army jawan. He died on his duty and it is an insult to him that his family asks for accolades!!
3. We talk of literate / educated people ruling the world. What more have they done?
4. Not being able to speak English is something you should not be ashamed of. Do you know that most leaders in European countries (EU) do not speak english at all!!?
Guys!!! ever heard of impartial thinking?
pR@tz
whoever he is i wish to postthese comments and want hinm to respond at my email address
The CM, or PM, however busy they are should sense the sentiments of a citizen especially when he is undergoing such mental strian as losing his only child that too for the nation. whatever abuse such a person makes , he should endure it, otherwise he is a devil and taht he ihas certainly proved now. I’ m from Kerala and i ‘m boldly declaring it . come for a war of words mr prtz, through the net
kamala
Leaders essentially need not be wearing Armani suites and D&G glasses and speak freaking English. He was forced to speak in English as English media asked him questions in English. Otherwise he is a proud enough malayalee who would have spoken in very lucid mother tounge of his – Malayalam., The neo-rich middle class pricks are whimpering a bit too much about English and what not. Utterly crap and disgusting. If you have any sense of history and has heard about someone called AKG, let me remind you that he never used to speak English fluently. if some of your grandparents are alive, you better ask them, what kind of attention and respect does that man used to earn in parliament and public circles with his broken English and that too when suave people like Nehru was around.
Initially, is it a consitutional precedent that the head of state or head of nation should visit the home of our security men who dies on duty for the sake of the country. Hence I feel that such visits can only be construed as personal. The better logic would be that all Indians who lay down theri lives for the security of the country should be considered as martyrs. inthe present case the CM had phoned up the major’s home and expressed his condolences to the bereaved family. Later when irresponsible elements hooked him up for not paying a visit to the major’s home, he rushed. And when he reached the home, he was told to get out, abused and humiliated in front of public glare and the media. Back home the reckless media confronted him on the issue and he retorted with a remark which was cunninngly twisted by the bourgeois press backed by the mafia barons and the defunct Congress and BJP. However the popular standing or rating of India’s most practical and wise CM will not go down either. Mr. V.S Achuthanandan is known for him simplicity, humbleness and down to earth personality. The bourgeois media, the TV channels have given a wrong impression to Keralites and Indians world wide on this issue. nevertheless, Mr. V.S has the backing of secular, progressive and the working class of Kerala. Under his rule all corrupt elements in the soceity – the bureaucrats , the religious outfits, land encroachers have been exposed and apprehended. There is a better law and order situation in the state when compared to all the other bigger states in India. Major Sandeep was a brave commando who was adventurous to defeat his enemies. The CM, his party the Communist Party of India ( Marxist ) pays rich tributes for his bravery. Hence all the critics and detractors of the CM or his party can stop barking like stray dogs.
The only thing i felt after reading ur post was
“Everybody Please come and bash me”
for no one can be in ur side.
@MK
read this…
@all
thanks for commenting… but for sure you have missed this post … a detailed and comprehensive translation of CM’s remarks which exposes the nasty unethical face TimesNOW journos…
Now I understand why the neo-rich, chauffeur-driven Achuthanandan and his people have come to power. God help us! BTW, yesterday he called someone something that is used only in porn sites. There will be more people paid (from the Kerala treasury- our taxes, making us neo-poor) to tweak this into something honorable. All the same, I am glad that my Malayalam is much better than his!
Its seems like the peoples are going through a war against politicians. that may rite . but same thing we need to undestand medias are helping the terrorist than politicians..
Medias(Especially Catitalissed sensational news hopers) were trying to casting the 26/11 war like a criket match. The Terrorrist might pleasured with thier competent mind ,fact medias were given the movement of the Soldiers lively to the Blidy terrorist..
—–This Post is very usefull,wat CM had done…
Thanks
Now that the relatives of slain major the late unnikrishan has evenly opologised to the CM for this unneccessary controversy let all speculations by the critics, enemies and detractors of the CM or the CPM be put to rest. To understand the personality in CM one has to study his roots, his struggles and his contribution for the upliftment of the struggling masses, the exploited sections, the underprivileged and for his stellar role in fighting communalism. Someone remarked that he was illiterate but then for an illiterate person to reach the top helms of adminsitration much be ndeed a blessing in disguse. Druing the British tyrannical rule many comrades like VS, EK Nayanar, AKG, Krishna Pilla etc had bore the brunt of inhuman persecution while protect the rights of the working class, the peasants and the exploited. They had to drop out of classes to be involved in the independence struggle and in the revolution. The Communist comtributed immensely for eradicating the social evils, stigma of untouchability and worked for the emancipation of women and for equality which all Keralites alike are now enjoying the benefits of a peaceful state devoid of communal virus, equal education, good health facilities and peace of mind. The new generation may not be aware of the past generation leaders who had contributed for the best in society. The remark which he had said had been twisted beyond the line and it is very pity still cheap minds are protesting.
The leftists are not against development of industrialisation. Kindly be ware that the trade union with the largest membership is the BMS ( affliated to the BJP ), then comes the INTUC ( affliated to the Congress ) and third comes AITUC ( affliated to the CPI ). The main left party the CPM whose trade union is CITU is only fourth in the membership. Now tell me with the BMS and the INTUC having a large labour union membership throughout India and holding the factories and industries to ransom by way of demanding more wages, more benefits which is going unnoticed by the public and not reported by the press due to partisan reporting and the sawy the bourgeois press has over the north, east and western states. And mind you all professionals are also members of a trade union… be it doctors, engineers, pilots, lawyers etc. Have they not struck work, paralysed the nation. So how can you only single out the Communists. That means you are unaware of the realities around. However one fact is that the leftists protest only on valid issues and get things done which benefits all. If the communists are friends of China, Cuba or Vietnam, it is because they are peaceful nations. Do you want the Communists to be closer wth the US and its cronies who dictate how smaller nations shoudl behave. Afterall the Communism is better than any other political theory as it is scientific socialism. Capitalism is evil and the true colours of it are been exposed with the credit crunch world wide.. what shame. Karl Marx Das Capital is now off the shelves in hundreds.
No wonder Kerala is in such deep-shit, with a moron CM & equally moronic followers. Did you guys all immigrate from Jonestown?
[...] is a comment in i left on this blog about the irrelevance of english to be a public [...]
Just one question to the honorable members in this discussion- Charles and pratz- Could you please throw light on why per latest developments, Achuthanandans’ own followers want him to step down from the post of CM?
@Parvathi
First thing you should understand is that Communist parties in general are very strict in disciplines.
Why Prakash Karat said sorry and requested VS to do the same?
It was just a face saving act against the ruckus caused by the right-biased Indian media and VS’s initial stand was there was no requirement regretting as he hadn’t done anything wrong as projected by the media. (If you had seen the video, you will understand that his remarks were not abusive/defaming slain majors family).
As I said in that post… regretting is just a face saving act. Even Sandeep’s family had told to media, that CM’s remarks were misinterpreted by the media.
And again, don’t make a decision about the Communist party’s actions/policies after reading a right-biased bourgeoisie news paper. It had and even now is taking you away from the FACT!
BTW, yesterday he called someone something that is used only in porn sites.
@ Parvathy :
U mean dog in a porn site?
doggy, yes… that could well be in a porn site.
If it is the former, i will have suspect your tendencies.
It is not about the politics that is being played inside CPIM is what we are talking about. There are nefarious elements in CPIM too as there are in others. So, it is very natural that some elements wants him to step down or is making his life difficult as a CM. But that is entirely a different issue.
I hope you are not one of those English Journo Hacks who popped the contorted question to CM.
My comments stop here with is. However I still feel that there are people who still call a spade a spade. Thw world has seen many communist leaders from Lenin to Ho Chi Minh from Che Guevera to AK Gopalan. Hence those who are indoctrinated with anti communist feelings have to come out and learn the facts. The philisophy of Communism hold good for an equilitarian society. Have you heard of communal riots, arson, terrorism in China, Norht Korea, Cuba or Vietnam. Learn from them. And what is happening in India with our open democracy. We have 5 major religions and thousands of communities professing different beliefs. And where is India headng for with the communal cauldron boiling. When Karl Marx said that religion is an opium, he was ridiculed and communists were blindly terrmed athiests. Now tell me is there any communal peace in India. Religion has become competitive with all the major religions in the fray to assert their supremacy. And then the trouble follow and innocents are affected. Comrade VS and his contemporaries fought for the exploitation of religion and wrested for the untouchales the right to practice religion for all irrespective of his colour or status. The north indian press are not educative of the reformers of Kerala and let’s forgive them. And I see some remarks against communist followers which I forgive the critic for their ignorance. Have a nice Day.
Dear pR@tz
I am new to this site, after reading your comment, you are like our present president near useless, what you wants to tell us you started with Hon CM. what you wan to tell us. Enough is Enough, at least the father of Great Sandeep is represented the feeling of Indian people who are already fed up with this age old politicians. I want to express my feeling how can show it. So you want to control all our anger with us and fight like Mahatma. We are Indians and we are not belongs to any party, we see India to prosper.
And you also noted the communist are very decent dear did you think that we are blinds and idiots. They have 1000 policies for each state.
CM is not an ordinary man we have given authority to represent you and me and our whole state. Is this way you will represent a ceremony (who died for nation).
Nothing more to say………..the thing is clear we all should unit together to eradicate this age old useless politicians.
The communism of today has nothing to do with Karl Marx. I used to be a staunch, avid and almost blind SFI supporter and campaigner at college, and so please do not teach me about Communism. I have seen it all. Reality dawned upon me over the years. I am no longer a leftist supporter and that speaks volumes about the plight of Communism today. Again, that does not mean I am for Congress. I hate both the crafty Pinarayi Vijayan ( another leftist moving against VS, making the term “teamwork” look obsolete ) and the Italian grocer’s neo rich daughter Sonia Gandhi ( who has nothing to do with the left) who apes Indira Gandhi’s speech ( which sounds sick and disgusting to the core) just to cover up the Bofors and related skeletons in the cupboard, even more than I hate Achuthanandan. Were it not for the remark relating to our beloved Maj. Sandeep Unnikrishnan’s home I would not have even have thought of Achuthanandan. Achuthanandan does not deserve to be a CM. He does not have the guts, nor the diplomacy to lead. I think he has a false notion that his “clever’ remarks can cover up for his lack of leadership qualities. These attempts at being clever, like the remark relating to the Maj. Sandeep Unnikrishnan case only serve to project what VS really is. When I said “he called someone something that is used only in porn sites” I was referring to how he twisted Oommen Chandy’s name to something profane. Is that how a CM should set an example to the old and young of Kerala? In addition to all the above, I still cannot understand how religion should affect politics. It is simply irrational. Religion is each individual’s private choice. I do not think even parents should interfere with any person’s religious sentiments. In this light, I find it ridiculous that we have political parties based on religion. The entire political system here needs a makeover. Now what I am most concerned about is the basic amenities that the public is deprived of. India used to be one of the richest abodes of resources and even after years of independence we do not have basic amenities. I have lived in 3 continents and I find that the BASIC BASIC amenities are the worst in our country, whereas per reports we have the politicians and the powers that be hold the fattest Swiss bank accounts. Even the communists in India promise the working class “bread and water” when actually they have resources to give the masses “bread and milk.” The poor people are deceived that someone is doing them great service by providing them with bread and water.
Mother Teresa would not have started her missionary work in West Bengal but for the whole hearted support of the Leftist government who are in the saddle for a continuous record 30 years. She could do missionary with the cross dangling on her neck. The cross represents suffering and salvation and the communists are convinced that deed is better than the word. The Communists have done their best to ssafegurad Indian’s interest and the interest of the needy. Take a tour of the villages where the Leftists are in power and one will be surprised by the welfare schemes which they have initiated. The villages are at peace with nature. Now if the communists are to be despised how is it that they are in power in two of the most literate states in India. Do you think that the voters are nuts??. The Congress in terms of meaning is ‘ crowd’ and they are still practically a crowd of sycophants, traitors and waste. Could you identify a corrupt Communist leader whereas there are many in the other parties. Could you identify a communal violence instigated by the Leftists whereas the Congress is responsible for parochialism, chauvinism, regionalism, sectarianism, and religious fanaticism. The problem with those who despise communism is the fear that their liberty for creatings vices will be curbed. Can you deny the fact that if a landless person received at least 3 cents of land for his own, it is because of the Communist dispensation. Can you deny the fact that if right to higher education for all sections of the society, irrespective of class and cash is becoming a reality, it is because of the leftist dispensation. If any religious fanatic creates a problem it is the leftists who are bold enough to counter them. There is total law and order complacency in all the communist ruled states. Are you beggary is rampant in US and Europe also. Do you know how many jobs are been cut during the last few months due to the global financial slow crisis. Was there a systme to check the impending crisis. Well under capitalism only disasters happen. Indians need to understand the better aspects of scientific socialism where one should help according to his ability to one according to his need. If we are able to pull out people from poverty and put a smile on his face then we can expect a better world. I find that nations like China, Cuba, latin americas and other socialist countries have survived the onslaught of the global financial crisis. The miracle is that despite the economic embargo by the US/ Europeon union on Cuba the people stand united and there is peace that region. We have to learn many things from them.
Someone might have done something somewhere. But I am sad that my countrymen are not aware of what actually they could have got or what they are missing. Some countries are going through a slowdown but they would need a million years to come to India’s present economic condition if things go at the same pace but economic experts foresee some kind of respite within 5 years. Anyway, had we been fortunate to have a proper political system in place, India could DEFINITELY have been a better place than even the so-called superpowers like the United States. Someone in our workplace, who used to work in Calcutta about 25 years back- an elderly , benign, harmless nice man who is too naive to have any political inclinations, recently went back to Calcutta on some kind of a visit. When he returned, he told us that it looks as though time has stood still in that place. Nothing has changed. The same ancinet roads and paan shops and so forth, every crack and every blemish and every sign of poverty intact! This is a realtime, firsthand account of what is going on in Calcutta.
As for Trivandrum, where I live now, the key areas of the city like Thampanoor and East Fort are …well go have a look! I used to work in the US until about 3 years back and again, I had gone to California 2 months back where the parent company of my firm is located -was on a brief official visit. Things are real bad there compared to what it used to be like, but like I said it would take a million years to become something like Trivandrum, the place I opted to live in , just to be in India in spite of a job all ready for me in the US anytime. My choice is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING NOTHING compared to the choices that great persons like Maj Sandeep Unikrishnan made. What I can do for my countrymen is to make them aware that they are missing a lot that they do not know of. We love India because of the family ties and culture here. But when we hear of undiplomatic remarks and bad language used by leaders of a state, as well as horrible cases like the scandals in Kiliroor, it is difficult not to retaliate, especially since we want our children to be exposed to the culture that India USED to be proud of. All this coupled with the political treason around really makes one very depressed.
